@juliedavispa: A fever is only one piece of the picture when your child is sick. As a pediatric PA, I’m also watching three things: 1️⃣ Breathing: Are they breathing much faster than usual, pulling in at the ribs, flaring their nostrils, or struggling to catch their breath? 2️⃣ Hydration: Are they drinking and peeing regularly? Can they keep fluids down? 3️⃣ Behavior: When the fever comes down, are they alert and interacting—or unusually sleepy, difficult to wake, or not acting like themselves? If your child’s breathing is concerning, they’re showing signs of significant dehydration, or something just doesn’t feel right, have them evaluated. Save this for sick season and share it with another parent. Educational information only—not medical advice. When in doubt, contact your child’s healthcare provider. #PediatricPA #pediatrics #kidshealth #sickkids #physicianassistant
